Grub broken.

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, all.

Thanks, Auke,

did the job and it now boots.  For some strange reason I am now
getting an fcsk error 8 on /dev/hda2.

I tried /sbin/fsck -y /dev/hda2, boot it says that my superblock is
missing or corrupt. Before I installed Lunar, I did an exhaustive HDD
check, so I'm sure my HDD is ok.

Can anyone help me get past this?  Failing that, I will try 1 fresh install.

Many thanks,

Chris.
